“Honestly Bebe, I still can’t believe you’re my daughter. But I think I instinctively know how much I loved you… I’m still surprised every time you call me mom, but maybe… I loved you so much.”
A soft hand patted my head.
I felt like I was about to cry. After my father came in, I heard from my mother’s sincerity. I felt overwhelmed because I seemed to know what my mom thought of me and how much she loved me.
“Yes… I love my mom a lot.”
Even if she lost her memory, my mother is my mother.
And even if she lost her memory, I love her so much.
At that time, my father, who was looking at us, leaned over and hugged my mother and I at the same time.
“I won’t let the two of you have a hard time. I’ll protect you.”
Dad wouldn’t know how reassuring those words were.
My dad… he’s a little out of his mind, and sometimes he acts like a crazy person, but he’s more affectionate than anyone else… especially to my mother and I.
‘Of course, I didn’t even know that Dad liked my mom, and I didn’t know that my mom liked my dad, so I feel a bit betrayed.’
It’s good though.
I looked up at my mom and dad and smiled brightly.
“I’m happy.”
Other than those words, what other words could I say to express my feelings?
I was so happy that I didn’t want to do anything but laugh like a fool after my dad smiled like a fool.
‘I will protect this happiness.’
That’s how I made up my mind. I will protect my mom.
After that day, my mom’s memory still hasn’t come back, but there have been quite a few changes.
My mother, who was always lying in bed, started practicing walking and started eating. And that change was when my brother Allen came to visit her room blatantly.
In the past, Sylvie was strangely wary of my mother. Now, he’s very attached to my mom.
It’s probably because she kept throwing meat at him at every meal.
“You say you’re a noble silver wolf, but you eat a lot.”
The first time he appeared in front of me was because I gave him food.
“Well, the food is good here.”
While I was sitting at the table with the intention of having lunch with my mother, I inflated my cheeks at the uninvited guest.
“Brother, why did you leave your room and eat here?”
“Yes, I think this house has good food.”
“Yes, this house has good food! There’s no difference between the food that comes up to you and the food that comes to me!”
When I burst out, Allen picked up the delicious meat in front of him with his fork and grinned.
“I see. It’s nice to eat here together, right Mom? You don’t want me to come?”
Allen smiled at my mom with a brazen look.
“No, it’s nice to be together like this.”
“M-Mom!”
Knowing that Allen wasn’t her real child, my mother laughed as if nothing happened. On the contrary, as if to appease me, my mother shoved the meat placed in front of her into her mouth.
“I’m happy.”
“Look, Mom says she’s happy, Bebe.”
“It’s my mom! Not yours!”
“Bebe’s mother is my mother too.”
My brother, who would’ve died in a blink of an eye if it were me in the past, had become a little strange since my mother lost her memory.
Was he particularly kind to my mother? Then he started to do a little less well for me. Of course, I sometimes said strange things.
‘What do you think? Am I sad that I’m not the only one good to my mom? Do I miss the old days? Am I jealous?’
I wondered if it was because of naughty Allen’s behavior with my mother, but nothing was certain.
Because of that, I kept my mouth shut, huffed and ate my food.
In the meantime, my dad cut the deliciously glossy turkey with a good, and one by one, placed them in front of my mom and I.
“I…”
As expected, Allen looked at my father with a sad look on his face.
“You have to eat on your own. Do I have to do all of these things?”
Still, Dad put some turkey legs in front of Allen.
“You grumble yet you do everything. Xenox, you’re very…”
“Isn’t it attractive?’
Dad laughed as if he had been waiting for Mom’s words. Seeing that, my mother laughed too.
“You’re sly.”
“Whatever it is, it’s a compliment.”
Seeing the two of them change into a strange atmosphere whenever they had the time, I forked the dishes one by one.
The meal, which was a little strange that it somewhat tickled my heart, continued for a long time… as if it wouldn’t end.
But it always happened when we were the happiest.
“Your Highness.”
One of the knights that suddenly came in whispered in my father’s ear with a startled look.
